What is a polyatomic number?

There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.


What leads to an ionic compound with polyatomic ions?

An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.


Is Ag2O ionic covalent or polyatomic?

Na2O is ionic and consists of Na+ and O2- ions.


The bonds within polyatomic ions are predominantly?

Ionic bonds. These bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged particles known as ions within the polyatomic ion. The attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions holds the polyatomic ion together.


What is the polyatomic ions of ammonium?

The polyatomic ion of ammonium is NH4+. It is formed when a hydrogen ion (H+) is added to ammonia (NH3) to make it positively charged.


What comes first in ionic compounds?

In ionic compounds, the positively charged ions (cations) come first in the chemical formula, followed by the negatively charged ions (anions). The cation is usually a metal or a positively charged polyatomic ion, while the anion is typically a nonmetal or a negatively charged polyatomic ion.


How are polyatomic ions usually charged?

It depends but most are negative, e.g. nitrite, sulfate, nitrate, sulfite, chlorite, phosphate, phosphite, permanganate, chromate, dichromate etc. There are however, polyatomic ions that are positively charged.

What two types of bonds are there in a polyatomic ion?

Polyatomic ions can have both ionic and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between the positively and negatively charged ions within the polyatomic ion, while covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between the atoms within the polyatomic ion.
